Chapter Forty-One

At midnight, the city was filled with snow and wind.

South of Weishui City, the lights are brightly lit.

These fearless Jianghu gangsters were really frightened by the death of five members of the Blackwater Gang.

In addition, during this period, the Zhengqing Gang and the Blackwater Gang were wary of each other and opposed to each other, and the atmosphere in the entire old street in the south of the city became tense.

Zhengqing Gang, in the attic, Xie Qing closed his eyes and sat on the floor, as if he was asleep.

It seemed like he was resting, but also like he was waiting for someone.

The fallen Jianghu guest outside the house passed by and took a look, not only smacking his lips.

——The boss has been doing this every night for several days, and he doesn’t know what he is doing.

But even if they had questions, these charlatans didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around and left.

But what he didn't notice was that as soon as he walked away, there was a figure in black clothes and black facial makeup standing at the door.

quietly.

Yu Chen walked into the room.

Xie Qing finally opened his eyes.

The person he was waiting for has arrived!

"senior."

As if he breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Qing greeted him respectfully, "There are some clues to what you told me at the beginning."

Yu Chen nodded, sat down on a chair, and waited for the next sentence.

Xie Qing took out a stack of paper from the drawer and said, "I sent people to check the lists you gave me - it's strange. Fifteen years ago, these people were indeed in Weishui, but in your case

After the case mentioned, these people died, disappeared, and moved away. Almost a year after the case, there was no one left."

After hearing this, Yu Chen frowned slightly.

These lists are the witnesses who testified at the secret trial in the coroner's revolving door.

Judging from Dead Man's Mouth's memory, their testimonies at that time all proved that Yu Chen's father and mother were the murderers of that massacre.

So Yu Chen wanted to get some information from them, such as who was the mastermind behind asking them to testify.

But I didn't expect that after fifteen years, not one of these guys was left.

Is it the mastermind who killed people and silenced them?

But in this case, why can a dead man live for so many years?

Because he doesn't know the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes?

Or is it because he had experience as a government coroner?

No one knows.

But what is certain is that this road is broken.

Yu Chen felt a little disappointed, but there was no emotion on his face.

Xie Qing tentatively raised his head and glanced at the grimace mask. He seemed to only see cold iron and stone without any reaction. He quickly buried his head and continued:

"But I found something about the case you asked me to investigate fifteen years ago.

At that time, because the perpetrator was a member of the Yamen, in order to protect the reputation of the Yamen, the trial was held in secret and was not made public.

But I still have some connections in the yamen over the years, and through inquiries from various parties, I still heard some information, which is enough to piece together some fragments of that year."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Qing told all the news he had learned.

As a result, a case buried in dust slowly unfolded in front of Yu Chen.

Let's say that fifteen years ago, the county magistrate had just taken office and had two generals under his command, one overt and the other undercover.

The wise man arrested Yu Tiesheng for the house chief. He hates evil as much as he hates it, has strong martial arts skills, is upright, and is selfless. No matter whether he is a kid from a rich family or a descendant of an official, no one can escape as long as he commits a crime.

As for the Dark One, it has always been a legend. No one knows who he is or what he looks like.

I only know that the county magistrate had just taken office at that time, and Yu Yin, the previous county magistrate, was causing mischief overtly and covertly, causing chaos in Weishui and extreme chaos.

But one day, overnight, blood flowed profusely, and all those guys were honest; so there was a rumor that there was a guy who was doing some shameful things for the county magistrate at that time, and he was called "Scavenger".

It was against this background that one rainy night fifteen years ago, the Yang family, a wealthy businessman family in the Tianqiao area, was massacred. The family of twelve, including a dog, left no one alive!

At the crime scene, there were no other traces except a pair of copper maces.

Finally, after investigation, it was discovered that this was the weapon used by the then house arrest chief Yu Tiesheng and his wife.

Such a tragic incident of annihilation naturally sent shockwaves throughout the Wei River.

The Yamen immediately took action, conducting autopsies, arresting people, interrogating, and bringing them to court!

The whole process took no more than three days before the truth came to light.

The former Weishui chief arrested Yu Tiesheng and his wife, who committed a massacre. The evidence was conclusive and they were sentenced to be beheaded!

——Of course, these are all appearances, and they are all things that everyone in the yamen superficially agrees with.

But in fact, Xie Qing found many doubtful points during the investigation.

One, motivation.

There must be a motive for killing, either to kill, to silence, or to hate because of love. Even the perverted murderer kills his own kind in order to satisfy his own twisted desires.

However, it can be said that Yu Tiesheng and the thirteen members of the Chen family have no conflicts, no emotional disputes of interest, and judging from the personalities of Yu Tiesheng and his wife, they are not the kind of bloodthirsty lunatics.

Yu Tiesheng had no motive to exterminate the Chen family.

On the contrary, Yu Tiesheng was very kind to the Chen family!

Because before the Chen family was wiped out, they were already involved in a case. After their daughter died, it was Yu Tiesheng who caught the murderer and allowed the Chen family's daughter to rest in peace.

Second, it is abnormal.

At that time, there was a widespread rumor in the Wei River that Yu Tiesheng, the chief arrester, was a master of martial arts. He was so superb that he was invulnerable to iron and stone. He was already an innate martial arts master with great perfection!

And what about the Chen family?

Except for some money, I have nothing.

Even if the motive is ignored, Yu Tiesheng is crazy and wants to kill someone, so there is no need to use his and his wife's mace as the murder weapon - mace weapons are already rare, so they are naturally easier to target after committing a crime.

To take another ten thousand steps back, even if he is really crazy, he will hold up his mace and drag his wife along to kill him!

There is no way he would have lost his mind and left the murder weapon at the scene - after all, he was the chief police officer of Weishui and had solved countless cases. How could such a low-level mistake be made?!

"Fifteen years ago, I was not in Weishui."

After recounting everything he found, Xie Qing frowned slightly and expressed his opinion: "So we can only piece together the truth of the case based on the few words that have been passed down to this day - in short, I think that Yu Tiezhen is not the real one."

murderer."

After listening, after a long time, Yu Chen let out a long breath.

Seeing this, Xie Qing's expression suddenly froze.

——Back on Fanghua Mountain, when the senior in front of me killed the big insect, he also made the same move.

The thick white mist overflowed from under the grimace, resembling ghosts and gods.

So it should be obvious that this senior's mood is not calm.

Thinking of this, Xie Qing lowered his posture and added:

"In addition, I also found some other things. It is said that Yu Tiequan had a disciple at that time who also worked in the arresting house at that time.

This man was originally a wandering orphan, and was later adopted and raised by Yu Tiequan.

He is also respectful to Yu Tieqin, and even arranges the Yu and his wife's food, clothing, housing and transportation. He also has the key to the Yu and his wife's residence."

Yu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Continue talking."

"The following are all my speculations. If I am wrong, senior, please don't blame me."

Xie Qing took a deep breath and said:

"I also know a lot of people who practice martial arts. Let's ignore those who are good at boxing and kicking. As for those who dance with guns and sticks, they basically regard weapons as important as their lives.

As for Yu Tiequan, who is such a master, this is even more true. So if he is not the murderer, then why were he and his wife's mace left at the crime scene? I guess, the only way is... to frame the blame! Someone deliberately put it

His weapon was stolen and placed at the scene of the crime to frame the crime!

But Yu Tieqin is extremely talented. It would be a fantasy for ordinary people to break into his residence and steal the copper. Only close people and acquaintances can do it! For example... the disciples who take care of food, clothing, and daily life? "

Having said this, it was impossible for Yu Chen not to understand what Xie Qing meant.

He nodded and asked succinctly: "Who?"
